Sports context
I know the culture of distance and track training, the rhythm of season highs and lows, and the pressure of races and meets.
Athlete Support
Therapy for athletes who want clear, honest mental support.
If therapy has felt stagnant for a month or longer, this work may be a better fit. It is caring, structured, and built around one problem at a time so your time, energy, and financial investment do not feel wasted.
A respectful, grounded offer
It means a lot that you are willing to take the risk of trying therapy, and I want to do my part to make that risk worthwhile. That starts with clear direction, real respect for your experience, and work that is connected to both your sport and your life.
How the work is structured
Therapy should not feel like aimless talking. It should feel practical, honest, and paced so you can see whether it is helping. Sessions are designed to address one problem at a time and to move in a direction you choose.
- We pick the most meaningful issue first, then focus on that until it shifts.
- Your voice matters. You tell me what feels most important, and I help shape that into a plan.
- Sessions are direct and usable. You leave with something concrete to try before the next meeting.
- We avoid staying stuck in the same patterns — especially if things have felt flat for too long.
Why the risk matters
Therapy can feel scary. It is normal to wonder: Will this person accept me? Will I feel safe? Will this actually help? Am I going to be judged? I take those questions seriously because your willingness to try matters.
Safety is a priority. I want you to be able to bring the real thing, not a softened version.
Progress should be noticeable. If we are not moving, we rethink the plan rather than pretending the process is still working.
You decide the pace. This is your work. I am here to support it, not to steer it without your consent.
Coaching experience that matters
I bring over ten years of cross country and track coaching to the therapy room. I have coached all-state individuals and teams, helped athletes grow as people, and been recognized with coaching awards. That experience helps me understand pressure, discipline, injuries, setbacks, and the emotional weight of performance.
- Real awareness of what a hard training block feels like.
- Understanding how a bad race can echo for days.
- Knowing how much an athlete can carry before it affects both sport and life.
Athlete-focused care
The work is structured to fit athletes — not to force a generic therapy model on top of sport-specific concerns.
Performance respect
The goal is not just better results. It is to feel safer, more confident, and more grounded while also managing the mental side of sport.
Who this work is for
This is for athletes, parents, and coaches who want practical support for pressure, injury anxiety, consistency, communication, and confidence — without the feeling that therapy is just vague encouragement.
